Cameron Bros. had a lot OF old cows
md of-color heiiers spayed. They sold
another shipment of beef steers TO purdy

year have sold nearly everything that is
marketable. More cattle died in southern
Arizona this last spring than most people
are aware. Timely rains saved the herds
here from defamation by drought similar
to the ravages in Montana from the terri
bic cold Of the previous winter. Our
ranchmen don't propose to get caught
soon again with overstocked ranges.
Walter Vail and the Camerons are re.
ported to have sold everything that was
marketable down TO yearlings. Vail also
has reduced his herd by the use OF the
